Itās kinda a bummer it worked out this way. Iām sure there were a lot of people who were shut out initially that could have actually afforded to go. This isnāt the type of trip that most people can execute last minute.

To clarify, the extra is for my buddy who had to bail. He quit his job a month before we bought the tix assuming heād have a new gig lined up by now. Heās still doing interviews trying to land gainful employment so an overseas vacation is not in the cards. Iām trying to hustle his ticket for him, obviously I donāt have high expectations but if anyone hears of someone looking for a ticket send me a PM.
On the plus side Iām hoping that the venue will be allow for plenty of dance room. Does anyone know what the booze situation is there? Are you going to be able to bring drinks in?
At the Kauffman Center in KC (a similar super-modern concert hall) they only allow drinks in the lobby, nothing in the venue. Iām guessing this might be the same.
That would be absolutely devastating. Super strict drug laws and no booze allowed in the viewing area? Would be a terrible combo lol. Fingers crossed that this isnāt the case. Thatās the kind of policy that should have to be advertised in enormous red letters on any ticket purchase page.
Lol if thatās the case
Ya Iāve been in venues like that before. Sucks
Agreed. This hadnāt even occurred to me.
Feel like it would lead to people chugging and then throwing up. Iād rather have someone spill their beer in a seat than puke in their seat.
Yeah I know some people have some very legit reasons for not making it. But I think there were at least some careless people out there that committed to this initially without understanding the true cost of the trip. Wasnāt trying to single out anyone in this thread, more so all the people Iām seeing with extras on FB.

Put me in the group of people that really wanted to make the trip happen when it was announced and then got shut out because I didnāt expect it to sell out so quickly. I used that vacation time for my trip to Mexico this past January and now Iām salty about these cheap seats up for grabs .
For UMs sake I hope it is a packed room but KB can still fuck off.

Havenāt found a ton of info but did find this TripAdvisor review that confirmed my suspicions:
Went to see Olafur Arnalds in concert on Dec 18th. Beautiful concert hall. Modern amenities and beverages (adult and non alcoholic) were available, however, you cannot bring drinks into the concert hall itself.
Kind of a bummer but not a total deal breaker. Not tryna spend my mornings hungover as fuck while in Iceland.
Same. Iām guessing the fact that drinks are going to run $15+ a pop will help in that endeavor.
Just bring a vape cart and discrete puff. Yall realize that drinks at a venue are gonna be like 30 dollars a pop right?
Seeing all these extra tickets now bums me out. Also didnāt expect it to sell out so quickly and I would have 100% been in.
Not sure if Iceland is like the US in that music venues overprice drinks. I saw a concert there once (granted a much smaller venue) and beers were in the 9-10 range which is pretty average for Iceland.
And I suggest bringing a vape pen. Brought one with me when I went and faced no problems. Smoked weed with some locals but it was the worst fucking weed Iād smoked in over 10 years. God awful.
Any tips for this? Just pack in your toiletry bag or something? Have read itās pretty easy, but the risk of missing out on the entire trip if caught gives me pause.
As long as nothing says THC on it you should be fine. Iāve packed it in with my electronics bag before and havent had any trouble
